Country Music superstar Keith Urban arrived in Uncasville, Conn. Tuesday afternoon and spent the past two days in full run-through rehearsals for tonight's opener of his Escape Together World Tour, GACtv.com reported.

Urban said of his first shows, "The first night for me is a pretty good mix of calm and anxiety. But the minute that I see everyone's faces and they're singing, and into it, it's all good. I'm looking forward to getting this all started."

Urban will be joined on stage by Dierks Bentley, Glen Campbell, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum and the Zac Brown Band. Sugarland was scheduled to perform at the Uncasville dates, but singer Jennifer Nettles has been put on vocal rest. Jason Aldean and Little Big Town have stepped in to perform with Urban for those two shows. An announcement has yet to be made about the show in State College, Pa. on May 9.
